Chapter 7 — The Most Calculating Person Is You

As for me, I officially filed for divorce. In court, I presented evidence from a hidden camera in the house, recording scenes of Ly Dong breaking and screaming like crazy every day since he moved. I used the reason that he was mentally unstable and asked the court to take away his custody rights. When it came to the division of assets, the judge read each article one by one, Ly Dong continuously objected, the argument was smooth, it didn't sound right. When it was my turn to speak, I only said one sentence: "I am divorcing you so that our children can grow up healthy. No matter what, we are still a family. Since we are a family, why do we need to compare and calculate?" I know clearly that Ly Dong still regrets that night in his heart. When he heard me say that, he immediately thought that I was just temporarily angry, that sooner or later I would bring my child back to reunite. So, in front of everyone, he generously interrupted the judge and announced that he voluntarily left the house empty-handed. Not only that, he also proactively raised his pension from 5,000 to 8,000 yuan per month. The divorce case reached that point, even the experienced judge was surprised, the look in his eyes when looking at Ly Dong suddenly seemed somewhat strange. In Ly Dong's eyes, that look became the "admiration" others had for him. After the divorce verdict was announced, Ly Dong invited me out for a "farewell" meal. I smiled and waved my hand: "Well, I won't go anywhere that farewell party. I have another trial later." My second trial is to sue Tiet Mai's family. I request them to compensate for all vehicle repair costs, depreciation, and the amount of fines they were wrongly waived. The dash cam recorded clearly: my new car was intentionally destroyed by Tiet Mai's family. The police station report also specifically stated that that day the two sides had a fight, and there was no such thing as me unilaterally causing a fight. The truth was clear, the evidence was complete, so the verdict was announced very quickly. Tiet Mai was forced to pay within ten days all repair costs, damages, and half of the compensation. Right in court, Tiet Mai took off her shoes, rolled on the floor, screaming and yelling. After three ineffective warnings, the judge directly declared her in contempt of court and sent her to detention. Her husband, who was a government employee, was afraid of being implicated and would lose his reputation, so he immediately transferred all compensation money and filed for divorce from Tiet Mai. 10. After the divorce, I quit my job, sold my house, brought my two children back to live with my parents. I started the job I always dreamed of — becoming a full-time freelance writer. Every day, I sleep until I naturally wake up. When I opened my eyes, my favorite breakfast was already on the table. Two children - one was taken to school by their grandmother, the other was taken for a walk by their grandfather. Peaceful life passed for more than half a year. But this month, the pension payment that always arrived on time before the tenth day of every month suddenly disappeared. I called Ly Dong, but his phone was turned off. After asking everywhere, I learned the truth. It turns out that since the divorce, he has always been unwilling in his heart. At first, Ly Dong thought that my filing for divorce was just a threat, but he didn't expect that I would actually take the children away, sell the house, and definitely leave him. When it was certain that he and I were no longer able to reunite, Ly Dong did not want to pay alimony anymore. But the court's judgment clearly stated: if he does not fulfill his support obligation, he will be prosecuted according to the law. Reluctantly paying for it for a few months, he suddenly received a bright red wedding invitation from Tieu Vuong — the junior who had received the welfare apartment he used to live in. Looking at the card as a cruel satire, his anger exploded. In Ly Dong's eyes, all the tragedies of life

We all start with Tieu Vuong, the "brazen" person who dared to move into the apartment that should have belonged to him.
